Game Film


  Athletes don't only study film of their opponents, but they also watch film of themselves in action. We don't mean in the "Paris Hilton/night vision goggle" sense, but they watch themselves on the field to figure out the holes in their own game. They are smart enough to know that they can watch all the file footage in the world on their opponents, but if their own game isn't tight, all the watching in the world isn't going to help them.



  Most of the better online poker sites provide tools that will help players track their hand histories, seen flop percentages, as well as take notes. These features were not created just to fill out space on the interface - these are some powerful tools that can help a player study their play in ways that are impossible in live poker.



  The things to look for when tracking your own progress are such important areas of play such as if you are better playing in spurts, or if marathons are your thing. How much are you winning per hour? Which opponents are you doing best against? What kind of limit are you most successful at? Finding the answers to these questions will result in a much more enlightened and potent game. The best thing to remember is that if you are not aware of your weaknesses, you can bet your opponents are going to exploit them. So use the tools that are available and you will be pleased with the results.
